Barama workers express appreciation for government's assistance.



Following the President's announcement that laid off workers of the Barama plywood factory will each receive $25,000 monthly for a period of three months as long as they undergo computer training to be provided free of cost for one day per week, several of the workers expressed appreciation for government’s assistance.

Danwantie Persaud, a single mother of two, said she was satisfied for now because it was her only option. “We are not working now and he offering a computer course … and de end of de month he give $25,000 which I think is a good idea. We gon learn about computering, maybe we can have a job….”

Wendella Walton said she was “anxious” to learn about the computer. “I really wanted to learn the computer but I would need the means and the time but I’m glad that the President has made it possible that I’ll be able to learn this computer and then I am glad that our President has put things in place so that our single parents could be able to benefit.”
